Family income per capita, age, and smoking status are predictors of low fiber intake in residents of São Paulo, Brazil.

Nutrition research (New York, N.Y.)
We hypothesized that dietary total fiber intake may be less than recommendations and that the intake of total, soluble, and insoluble fiber may be associated with demographic, lifestyle, and socioeconomic factors. Data were drawn from the Health Surv...

Endogenous and exogenous factors influencing the concentrations of adiponectin in body fluids and tissues in the bovine.

Domestic animal endocrinology
Adiponectin, one of the messenger molecules secreted from adipose tissue that are collectively termed adipokines, has been demonstrated to play a central role in lipid and glucose metabolism in humans and laboratory rodents; it improves insulin sensi...

Effects of gender, body weight, and blood glucose dynamics on the growth hormone response to the glucagon stimulation test in patients with pituitary disease.

Growth hormone & IGF research : official journal of the Growth Hormone Research Society and the International IGF Research Society
OBJECTIVE: Body weight blunts the growth hormone (GH) response to provocative stimuli. The appropriate GH cut-off to confirm GH deficiency in obese and overweight patients undergoing the glucagon stimulation test (GST) has recently been questioned. W...

Relationship between vitamin D status and vascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Nutrition research (New York, N.Y.)
We aimed to investigate the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) and microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. It was hypothesized that lower 25(OH)D would be associated with increased microvascular c...

Assessing hippocampal development and language in early childhood: Evidence from a new application of the Automatic Segmentation Adapter Tool.

Human brain mapping
Volumetric assessments of the hippocampus and other brain structures during childhood provide useful indices of brain development and correlates of cognitive functioning in typically and atypically developing children. Automated methods such as FreeS...

Machine learning reveals sex-specific 17β-estradiol-responsive expression patterns in white perch (Morone americana) plasma proteins.

Proteomics
With growing abundance and awareness of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in the environment, there is a need for accurate and reliable detection of EDC exposure. Our objective in the present study was to observe differences within and between th...

The application of data mining techniques to oral cancer prognosis.

Journal of medical systems
This study adopted an integrated procedure that combines the clustering and classification features of data mining technology to determine the differences between the symptoms shown in past cases where patients died from or survived oral cancer. Two ...

Defining functional groups based on running kinematics using Self-Organizing Maps and Support Vector Machines.

Journal of biomechanics
A functional group is a collection of individuals who react in a similar way to a specific intervention/product such as a sport shoe. Matching footwear features to a functional group can possibly enhance footwear-related comfort, improve running perf...

An electronic medical record system with treatment recommendations based on patient similarity.

Journal of medical systems
As the core of health information technology (HIT), electronic medical record (EMR) systems have been changing to meet health care demands. To construct a new-generation EMR system framework with the capability of self-learning and real-time feedback...

Considering the effects of gender in child-robot interaction studies: comment on Srinivasan, et Al. (2013).

Perceptual and motor skills
Using a pretest-posttest design, Srinivasan, et al. (2013 ) found that a period of interaction between children and an Isobot humanoid robot improved performance on standardized measures of imitation, planning, and execution of motor behaviors. The a...
